DAVIE — The Miami Dolphins showed some encouraging signs on offense in an upset at Atlanta last week, but will two key pieces be available at home this Sunday against the Jets?

Miami has been holding out hope that center Mike Pouncey (concussion) and/or wide receiver DeVante Parker (ankle) may be able to play, despite not practicing throughout the week.

In Friday’s practice, Pouncey had his helmet on at the start of practice, in the portion open to the media.

In a step forward, Pouncey participated in positional drills, making contact with teammates

However, Parker did not appear at the start of practice.

Pouncey sustained the concussion in last week’s victory at Atlanta and was replaced by Jake Brendel in the second half. Pouncey did not practice on Thursday but was engaging in some physical activity, which is a positive step in the concussion protocol program.

While Brendel played capably, having Pouncey against such Jets inside stalwarts as Leonard Williams and Mo Wilkerson would be more ideal.

The Dolphins are already playing without starting left guard Ted Larsen, who became eligible to practice this week for the first time since injuring a bicep. Miami’s offensive line did finally have a very strong overall game last week.

Parker sustained the ankle injury early in the home defeat of the Titans 12 days ago and hasn’t practiced since. Parker has been seen walking without any visable limp in the Dolphins’ locker room.

Coach Adam Gase has said he will not question Parker’s toughness. Last season, there was a game in which is appeared Parker had no chance to play and then he surprisingly suited up.

On Thursday, offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen said the team is preparing to play without Parker and that it would be a bonus is Parker somehow was able to contribute.

It’s always possible Miami could try to use Parker in limited packages against New York. Miami has lacked in big plays over the first five games, and Parker is clearly the Dolphins’ best deep threat.

Cornerback Xavien Howard, limited with an ankle injury in Thursday’s practice, was dressed.
